Look--I Tried Out the Eggplant Eyeshadow Trend!

How's this for a coincidence: Yesterday at an event for the launch of some new Pantene products (more on that to come), I sat down in makeup artist Emily Kate Warren's chair and told her to surprise me with something. What she picked? An eggplant-y shade a lot like the one I posted about just yesterday. It's like we're* cosmically connected or something.

It may technically be a little more straight purple than eggplant when you get in close, but it's close enough to count in this case, I think. Do you like? I do! I think Emily (whom I've actually known since she was an editor at CosmoGIRL years ago) did a great job. Oh, and if you're wondering, the color she used was Estee Lauder Double Wear in Vintage Violet with a bit of black on the outer corners and in the creases.

What do you think ladies? Did I pull this off?

And see how shiny my hair is? I got to try out a new family of Pantene products and spend time with Gwen Stefani's hairstylist Danilo. Expect a more in-depth post on that after I get the products to play around with a little more on my own.

*By "we" I mean me and all three: Emily, Gwyneth and eggplant-ish eyeshadow.
